Snack stickx

What type of casing do you use for snack sticks? I seen the lamb casings but the smallest that I found was 3/4" and they are quite expensive. I'm trying to find something the size of slim jims.

19mm or if you want slim jim size 17mm collagen casings. Most snack sticks are stuffed in collagen casings.

This is the set of tubes I have  http://www.sausagemaker.com/56220tubessetof4for152025and30lbsausagestuffers.aspx.  When I convert them to mm nothing matches up to the size of the collagen casings.  1/2" is 12.7 mm, 3/4" is 19.25mm those are the outside diameter of the tubes.
